Only one `ads.txt` file is used per web site at the root directory of the web site.

So, please be exact on what you mean by the following statements:

- "I have a website"..... this means "one website", correct?
- "there are multiple ads .txt" .... what does this mean exactly? You cannot have multiple `ads.txt` files in the same directory, that is not possible since you cannot have two files with the same name in the same directory.
